Elections

Each Spring, the current members of the Freedom to Read Foundation are sent ballots to vote on candidates to elect to the Board of Trustees.  Trustees serve two-year terms and are limited to two consecutive terms before stepping off the board for at least one year.  Trustees are required to attend two one-day meetings per year, which are held in conjunction with the ALA Annual Conferences and Midwinter Meetings and teleconferences.

Nominations for trustee positions, including self-nominations, should be sent by January of the current year to Freedom to Read Foundation, Attn: Nomination Committee, 225 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 1300, Chicago, IL 60601. In addition, nominations may be emailed to ftrf@ala.org.  

Only current FTRF members are eligible to seek election to the board.  To become a member, click here. To check your membership status, log in or contact FTRF at ftrf@ala.org or (312) 280-4226.
